"Get lost you asshole! I flinched as Grace's shout suddenly resounded in the night, I couldn't stop the grin that marred my lips as she cforward and continued to curse at him.
"You're disgusting! Go on. Go to your lover's bed!" Grace screamed into the night. By now, Mark's car was just a tiny light at the end of the tunnel.
"Relax, girl," I giggled and shook my head, "he definitely cannot hear you." "He can," she murmured, then turned to me, concern filled her eyes. "Are you okay?" I scoffed, "Why won't I be?"

Together we examined the card: Luigi Matteo. His name, an Italian name, ΟΠ was right there along with his contact information. The look of disbelief on Grace's face as she gasped caused my heart to swell with pride. "Babe," she drawled loudly and punchedlightly on the shoulder. I wobbled back a little, grinning. "How did you pull that?" Yeah, how did I pull that? No. The question should be 'how did he pull that?" I shrugged, my lips curled into a smug smile.
"I underestimated you, girl. You still have it in you, huh?" She wiggled her brows, "Hooking such a handshunk so quickly." I giggled as she put her arm back around my shoulder and pulled us toward the bar. "Now let's go see if your catch is still in there."
